Side view is looking good. I'm glad to see you took the proportional advice. Same on the 3/4. Yes, try loosing those lines up a little. Try doing an overlay and see how loose you can make the lines and still have it read. Try to balance between abstract, calligraphic, and realistic.

Thanks Michael, yes will try an over lay of this

By the way, is it common practise in professional id to make a rough sketch then put into photoshop and re proportion? I always feel like I am somewhat 'cheating' when I do this hehe but on the other hand I think it would be daft not to use all the tools at my disposal...

Realising just how much difference uninterrupted, smooth and fast lines can make to the overall finish of a sketch. This one below is by no means an example of this lol. Not the cleanest of lines but I will work on it.
